Upper and lower limits for the length of the graph of one to one, onto, Baire one functions from the unit interval to itself are shown to be infinity and one, respectively. Such functions having graphs of large dimension and non-measurable functions are also considered. For the length of a subset E of the plane, we will use the one dimensional Hausdorff measure Λ(E) = lim δ→0 inf ∑ diam(Ei) where the infimum is over all {Ei}i=1 with E ⊂ ∪Ei and diam(Ei) < δ. Some well known facts which we will need are: 1. If E is the graph of a continuous function on [a, b] then Λ(E) agrees with the length of E. 2. If projθ(E) is the perpendicular projection of E onto a line making an angle θ with the x-axis then Λ(projθ(E)) ≤ Λ(E). We will eventually also use the s-dimensional Hausdorff measure of E given by Λs(E) = lim δ→0 inf ∑ (diam(E)) where the infimum is as above and Λs(E) replaces Λs(E) when E is measurable. By the dimension of E will be meant the Hausdorff dimension, dim(E) = inf{s : Λs(E) = 0}. The s-dimensional measure can be estimated by using squares from a sequence of regular nets and we will eventually use nets on the unit square whose squares have vertices with coordinates m/K. See e.g., [1] or [4]. For continuous one to one functions f taking [0, 1] onto [0, 1] it is well known that f must be monotone and the length of the graph of such an f can be any value in [ √ 2, 2]. That the length must be at least √ 2 is due to the fact
